Jasmine Greenaway - Git tools in Visual Studio

Description

Almost every software developer is using Git and has a GitHub account for either their personal or work projects. In this episode, we have Jasmine Greenaway (@paladique) joining Rich Lander (@RunFaster2000) to talk about the official GitHub extension for Visual Studio.

The Discussion

Rather than searching for the VS .gitingore file, use https://gitignore.io. This website lets you pick tags, such as visualstudio, and generate a .gitignore file you can download. This is based off the same .gitignore files in the GitHub repo you find with your search, but this is a much better way to work with it.

While I've got a few GitHub repos, I don't do much collaborating where I'd deal with pull requests. So, all I know about this is what little was demonstrated here. But, man it looks nice. Why isn't there an equivalent for VSTS? I'd love to be able to work with pull requests on VSTS inside Visual Studio rather than using the web interface.
